Kobra LA is short for Kolomna Bratva Lubyanka (Kolomna Brotherhood Lubyanka)
Kolomna being the city where the East European faction broke off in 1177
Bratva meaning Brotherhood and
Lubyanka being the site of KGB headquarters.
Kobra and later Kobra La was founded in the Russian city of Kolomna in 1177 as a break away sect of the Society of the Coiled Serpent. With much of the Society distracted by the Crusades, the renegade sect sought peace with the Muslims and some favoured adding the Sultan Saladin to its ranks. Unfortunately he died in 1193 before they could induct him.
Kobra existed for centuries helping guide and sculpt Russian politics and came into significant power when one of its members Peter the Great found the Russian Empire in 1721. The society was undone in the Bolshevik rebellion in 1917. There are rumours that Lenin himself was a member and came to find the society’s goals abhorrent. With Russia plunged into civil war, the society fled to France but returned just before WWII and began to ingratiate itself into the politburo and the KGB, once its greatest nemesis.
The fortress Kolomna Kremlin was built from 1525-1531 by Tsar Vasily III.
Golobulus (Anatoly Golubkhov )
Anatoly Golubkhov was born in Kolomna, he joined the KGB in the 1970’s and rose very quickly through the ranks. He ruthlessly became the leader of Kobra by amassing a large private army and using his KGB ties to rid himself of all threats.
As the Soviet Union began to collapse, he quickly seized control of much of Russia’s criminal underground and buying state assets to refashion himself as a successful Industrialist and ruthless leader of the Russian Mafia. In recent times, Golobulus as he calls himself has begun to reclaim his family’s titles and land. He fancies himself a modern day Tsar and refers to his private army as his ‘Royal Guard’.
BEST. RET-CON. EVER.
I'm totally adding this to my Joeverse. Awesome.
